How to Remove a Salsa Stain.

Everyone has a comfort food. Chips and Salsa is my comfort food. Weird but true. Go figure, I guess that’s why everyone is different.

Use a butter knife or spoon to lightly scrape off any solid pieces of salsa without smearing it or embedding it further into the material. Most salsa’s have some sort of tomato base in it so we will need an acidic spotter to break that up and lift it out.

Spotting Solution: Vaska Laundry Detergent and Heinz Distilled White Vinegar.

• Create a spotting solution with 1 part Vaska Laundry Detergent, 5 parts Heinz Distilled White Vinegar and 5 parts water.

• Apply the solution directly to the salsa stain.
• Tamp with a brush.
• Let the solution rest on the salsa stain for 5-10 minute to penetrate.
• Rinse area with fresh water.
• If necessary repeat steps.

Finish by cleaning the entire item as recommended by the care label.

Seek professional help if necessary. If you have a good relationship with your green dry cleaners they will be more than happy to help you with stain removal questions.
